'He had to fend it off with his bicycle'
, I suppose he's lucky the fox didn't nick his bike! Good for a laugh though, almost a 'carry on' episode! Just goes to show how so many people are removed from reality and the natural world. As for the so called 'pest controller', well, words fail me! Time these people realised that a fox is a wild, determined, resourceful, opportunist, recidivist predator who is nothing like Basil Brush - Boom Boom!
I'm afraid that if it showed its face here it would be met with the wrong end of a 12 bore, definitely Boom Boom indeed!
